opening web page via shortcut-comes up reduced to half page.
by Guest tooc2bc- 1 reply
- 155 views
whenever I open a web page using a shortcut on my desktop the page comes up reduced to a half page. However, if I am already on the web with a full page, the new page comes up full. When I go on the web from the start menu it comes up in a full window. I think it has something to do with the tiling function. -- tooc2bc

I can choose between "Optimize for quick removal" and "Optimize for performance" for my external USB flash drive when I logged as administrator, but it is always set to "Optimize for performance" when I work under user account. Is there a way to let a user work with "Optimize for quick removal" option switched on? Thanks in advance.

"Open with" window reappears without the program
by Guest Jack B- 17 replies

When using Explore, I went to a folder with animations and right clicked on a gif file and chose "Open with", but it didn't show the program I wanted to use (Ulead GIF Animator). So I used Browse and found the executable & chose it; but, when I did that, all that happened was that the "Open with" window reappeared without the Ulead GIF Animator as a choice. What gives? Jack

duplicate listing of files in search results window
by Guest jdevola- 3 replies
- 210 views
This I find rather peculiar: When searching for files (e.g., *.*), search results window displays duplicate listing of same file (name, size, all attributes the same; location exactly the same!) Each file is apparently the same file (if open both, one opens; if delete one, both get deleted; if recover from recycle bin, both reappear in search window) listed twice in search window. I just noticed this recently, so it may be related to programs I've recently installed. What is going on here? Can this be fixed somehow? Anybody ever seen this before? Thanks in advance. -jd

USB RNDIS Device Speed
by Guest Neeti- 0 replies

Hi, I have a USB RNDIS network device, which when connected to windows machine shows a network connection. The windows RNDIS driver queries OID_GEN_LINK_SPEED from device, what speed shall device return? I am asking this question because:- My device is a high speed device which means link speed is 480 Mbps. But since my device implements BULK endpoint, the bandwidth allocated to it will be 10% i.e Maximum 48 Mbps. Now If I say the speed is 480 Mbps what will windows use it for? Will the data transfers from window happen at speed of 480 Mbps or this OID property is just to show the link speed in network connection status window. If windows use this va…

I created a virtual image of a machine using Acronis. I'm trying to run the image on a different laptop. Both laptops are of same model (Dell latitude D630). When I start the virtual machine, the machine starts and when I try to login, I get this message: "This copy of windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on. Do you want to activate Windows now?" Only a windows xp screen comes up when I click 'Yes' or 'No'. I could not activate Windows XP. How do I active Windows XP in this virtual machine? Thanks

Fragmentation of large video file
by Guest Stan Hilliard- 13 replies
- 435 views
OS=Windows XP Pro SP2 I downloaded a 1 hour video, file dn008.0318.mp4 from democracynow.com using the video player Miro.exe. The 451,294 KB, file had 6,264 fragments. When I use this process I typically get this degree of high fragmentation. Q1 - Is such high fragmentation to be expected with video files? Or does this indicate that I have a problem? Windows defrag couldn't defrag it (or several other video files.) Piniform defraggler showed 3 fragments after Defragging it. Information will be appreciated, Stan Hilliard
